Narseh came to power by overthrowing his great-nephew Bahram III in 293 AD, a coup that ended a reign of just four months. His rule saw the catastrophic defeat at the Battle of Satala against Galerius in 298, forcing the humiliating Peace of Nisibis — the most punishing treaty the Sasanians had yet accepted, ceding substantial Mesopotamian territory to Rome. The type II/2 classification in Göbl's system reflects die-axis and subsidiary symbol distinctions that help localize production across the short decade of his reign.
